All aspects of your vehicle need to be maintained in order for you travel safely. That includes routine inspection of the windshield wiper blades. Without them, you would not be able to see well enough to drive in such inclement weather conditions as snow, ice, and rain. Additionally, they clear away any dirt that impedes your vision.

A wiper blade is designed to travel seamlessly across the glass. If you notice that one or both have started streaking or skipping, it’s most likely time to replace them.

Your vehicle's engine sees some pretty extreme temperatures, and if left unchecked, it would surely overheat and cause some pretty extensive - and possibly permanent - damage. That is why there is a cooling system built into every vehicle on the road.

Over time however, your cooling system's liquid will get dirty and sludgy and need to be changed.

Consider this: Is it hard for you to keep your vehicle driving in a straight line? It is not supposed to be.

If you feel that your suspension might not be working as it should, you should find someone who will help you fix it.

Winter wiper blades are special wipers that are made to withstand ice and snow. Traditional wiper blades often warp in the extreme cold weather of the winter season here in Bartlesville, OK. This leaves streaks on the windshield that limits the driver's visibility.

Traditional wipers also have a habit of the joints being compacted with ice and snow. That makes it so that they do not move. When they do not move, then the driver's visibility is even worse than streaks.
